Mind,

I did not
Give in.

I remember the day my love sailed out to sea,
but that was years ago; that was when he was with me.
It's never been the same again, nor will it ever be.

He told me that he'd be home before I knew,
I guess he underestimated how hard the wind blew,
Or how mighty the waves were, knocking off and drowning his crew.

And no matter what others say,
I know that there will be a day,
When you return for me and rest your head to lay.

So, I will wait until then,
Until you're home once again.
The way that it's always been…

I still wait…
It's been 50 years now.
I will wait forever more.
I know you will come home.

Love is a game of give and take,
But what happens when that heart starts to break?

Too much love and too much sorrow,
Causes a yearning of a better tomorrow…

When I am cold I seek warmth
When I am sad I seek comfort
When I am tired I seek rest
They say I can find these with God.
So why do I keep searching?

When I am cold I seek warmth
The warmth of God's love
Is suppose to cover me
So why do I keep freezing?

When I am sad I seek comfort
The comfort of God's presence
Is suppose to surround me
So why do I keep crying?

When I am tired I seek rest
I am tired of crying
I am tired of freezing
I am tired of searching
So I give myself to God
And rest
Part of my life when I wasn't sure of anything... still not sure what I believe

The first sight was breath taking
The second, a sigh
The wind whipped through the air
As I watched an eagle fly

The first breath was halting
The second beautiful
The sun was beating down
Strong as the hand that made me whole

The first dance was intriguing
The second caught my heart
The music  sped through me
With my heart's rhythm beating its part

The first sight was breathtaking
The last a sigh
A thanks in her direction
A kiss goodbye
It sounds stupid but it felt like there was something almost... alive about the place. It was truly amazing..

My eyes turn blue for you
Every time I cry
The coldness inside
Turns my eyes crystal blue

When you see me smile
Don't be fooled
Please see the reflections of truth
In my sapphire eyes

My heart is beating fast
To the beat of a thousand drums
My mind is speeding past
To the sound of a thousand songs

A thousand voices combined in harmony
Rise higher, brighter, stronger
Lifting my soul till my spirit sings

A timpani triumphs over the trumpet's cries
While the trills of the golden strings
Ascend like angels beginning to fly

A crescendo vibrates with breathtaking power
My heart nearly bursts with joy
No moment passes when my eyes do not smile

Every fear was the last I held
Every sense is alive with love
Every light is bright and gold
Every breath is a new life begun
Written after singing with the symphony <3

The Noose
Eons ago

The red that pulsed

Through my veins

Turned into ice

I have been standing in a corner

Facing a wall

Perfecting the art of

Who gives a ****.
